YU HONORED BY PIA FOR INNOVATION IN THE PHILIPPINE HOUSING INDUSTRY Last March 17, 2005, Arch. Gilbert C. Yu, founder & chairman of G&W Architects was conferred as an honorary fellow of the oldest existing organization of architects in the country. The illustrious award was given to Arch. Yu by the Philippine Institute of Architects for his diversified contribution by innovating the Architectural Profession and the Industry through Ethical and Non-Traditional Ways. Already a Fellow of the United Architects of the Philippines, (UAP), Arch. Yu was chosen to be recognized by the PIA even if he’s not a member. Pioneer of the new method, Build-To-Own (BTO) system, Arch. Yu made it his personal commitment to provide the same protection and savings found in other more developed countries like Singapore and the USA, to prospective homeowners in the Philippines. The success of the Build-To-Own system has been seen through G&W projects in Bonifacio Global City, namely Kensington Place and Penhurst Parkplace, which were fully owned in 3 short months, and was delivered in 21 months, 3 months ahead of schedule. The third BTO project which is now on its way to construction is the Hamptons Place. Due to the unprecedented success of Kensington and Penhurst, Hamptons Place was sold out even before construction starts. Just few months ago, The Grand Hamptons Tower 2, the fourth BTO project of G&W was launched and now it is again experiencing a fast growth in sales hitting 30 percent in the 1st and 2nd quarters this year. With Build To Own, the landscape of the real estate industry in the Philippines have taken its first big step towards a more consumer protection oriented industry. |
